AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Will India ban Battlegrounds Mobile India? IT Minister responds

Battlegrounds Mobile India is set to release in India soon. In fact, if we go by rumours and leaks, the upcoming PUBG Mobile’s Indian version could release on June 18, i,e, tomorrow. However, the game developer Krafton has not revealed any specific launch date yet. Ahead of the official release, several ministers have urged PM Modi to ban the game right away as it is developed by PUBG Mobile creator. PUBG Mobile is banned in India since last September.

In the last few weeks, several ministers across the country have requested PM Narendra Modi to take a look at the game, it’s privacy and security policies and more. This is because the game is developed by PUBG Mobile creator Krafton. Last September, following the Indo-China face off at Galwan Valley, India banned several Chinese apps including PUBG Mobile.

Battlegrounds Mobile India ban details

IT Ministry has responded on banning Battlegrounds Mobile India in the country ahead of release. A twitter user who goes by the name Dr Gaurav Tyagi filed a RTI to know the details, to understand whether the Battlegrounds Mobile India game can be banned in India or not.

In the response to the RTI, the IT Ministry said that a game can’t be banned before the official release. However, the response added that the game could face a ban under section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 – just like PUBG Mobile – once it release in the country officially.

The IT Ministry stated in the response to the filed RTI, “Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology has no role in granting any permission for entry of PUBG or any company/Mobile app in India.”

The response clearly means that Krafton will be successfully able to launch the PUBG Mobile Indian version aka Battlegrounds Mobile India but the risk of ban remains. So, the best for Krafton will be to release the upcoming mobile game only after meeting all the concerns raised by the Indian government.
